What is the real fuel consumption of the 4.0 Patrol?
2 Answers
4.0 Patrol real fuel consumption is generally around 22 liters per 100 kilometers. If driven economically, it can be as low as 20L, and on highways, it’s around 15L. More details about the 4.0 Patrol are as follows: Maintenance costs: Minor maintenance costs around 1500, major maintenance costs over 2000, and the total cost for 60,000 kilometers is approximately 20,000 yuan, which is not high for a car in this price range. Patrol advantages: It is not comfortable for city driving, nor is it its advantage on highways, as it is positioned as a hardcore off-road vehicle. Its strength lies in its off-road capabilities, such as overcoming obstacles and traversing rough terrains. Therefore, if you mostly drive in the city and care about fuel consumption, the Patrol is not the best choice, as it is clearly less efficient than sedans in the same price range. However, if you enjoy off-roading, the Patrol is definitely worth considering compared to other vehicles in its price range.
I've driven the 4.0 Patrol many times, and real fuel consumption generally depends on driving habits. The officially announced combined fuel consumption is around 13 to 15L/100km, which doesn't sound too high, but actual driving conditions can vary significantly. In congested urban areas with frequent acceleration, stop-and-go traffic, fuel consumption can soar to 18L or even higher; while cruising steadily on highways, it can drop to around 12L. Key factors affecting fuel consumption include your driving style, vehicle load, and road conditions. For example, by avoiding frequent braking and acceleration in my daily driving, I can save a lot of fuel. As a large-displacement SUV, the Patrol has strong power but is thirsty for fuel—it's certainly not as economical as a sedan, but its off-road capability is truly outstanding. To control fuel consumption, I recommend monitoring your driving habits more often and regularly checking your vehicle's condition.
